Seeing The Light at the End of the Tunnel

Jun 8th, 2008 | By Suzanne | Category: Gratitude

When you find yourself in a dark place in life, your worst fears realized, your options seemingly gone - there is hope if you can realize that you are also in the best position - finally - to see the light at the end of the tunnel.



Obedience Training is Not for the Dog!

Feb 7th, 2008 | By Suzanne | Category: Accountability

You’ve got an unruly dog who jumps on everyone who comes through your door, chews your shoes and can’t be outside without a leash unless you want to chase it all over the neighborhood. It just won’t listen or behave, so you decide to take it to obedience classes. Enough is enough, you’re thinking, and [...]

Here are the actual mechanics of how we attract (or repel) absolutely every event in our lives.



The Value of a PITA

Sep 13th, 2007 | By Suzanne | Category: Gratitude

One of the best things about being in business for yourself is the ability to choose the people with and for whom you work. You can say, “No, thank you” to the PITAs (Pains In The Ass) of the world. Some people, no matter how much money they flash in your face, are just not [...]

“When you die, God and the angels will hold you accountable for all the pleasures you were allowed in life that you denied yourself.” — Anonymous

Hold Tight - Let Go

Aug 8th, 2007 | By Suzanne | Category: Detachment

I read the most profound blog post on what it is to be a mother this evening. I cried some, knowing…FEELING it all too well. It is the most exasperating relationship of a woman’s life, this being a mother, and the ONLY relationship where the goal from the start is to live a life APART [...]



Resistance to What Is Adds to Overwhelm

Somethings just are what they are, the way they are, and that’s just it…can’t change it. Wanting them to be different is not going to do anything but frustrate you.
Resistance to what is amplifies overwhelm, as well…and when you’re in overwhelm, why make it worse?
If you’re frustrated and overwhelmed, doesn’t it make sense to take [...]



Principles vs. Personalities

Jul 5th, 2007 | By Suzanne | Category: Detachment

I’m sure we’ve all, at one time or another, wondered how just one person could make an impact, make a difference. My son (and I) were both blessed with an opportunity to do exactly that a few days ago.
Because of the sensitive nature of the situation, I won’t go into much detail, but will concentrate [...]



Remembering Being 13

Jun 11th, 2007 | By Suzanne | Category: Accountability

As some of you know, my son, Tyler (13), is a People to People Student Ambassador and will be leaving on Wednesday for a 20-day trip to six countries in Europe: Ireland, Wales, England, France, Belgium and the Netherlands.
As excited as he is to go, there is also quite a bit of evident trepidation at [...]
